Program

Module: I MODULO PARTE (I)
-------
Monographic Part: Judgment. The course follows the approaches of the history of concepts and of the history of problems and considers the interpretation of a number of categories between Aristotle and Kant. It proposes issues that have animated the three books, which lie at the origin of logic, ontology, and epistemology. On top of the questions that concern the argumentative aspects of De interpretatione and their place in the history of Aristotle’s development, the course considers also Aristotle’s criticism of Plato and the impact set forth by the Latin translation of Boethius.

Teaching methods: seminal discussion. Attendance is strongly encouraged.
